What Liability is
– This is an example of baby talk.
Some teenagers say, “It really wasn’t my fault. It was just an accident.”
21
What Liability is
• In the grown-up world we have the idea of negligence.
• You are negligent if you should have been more careful.
• It’s your fault if you are negligent.• Now you have to pay for what you did. It’s
your fault. Crying won’t help. You are liable.
Two parts of car insurance are required by the state of
California.
